Updates really brought app down, loading is way too long and other changes weren't good! WHY??
Old version was do much better
If you haven't yet DO NOT UPDATE THIS APP! The new version is slower, harder to use and frankly stupid looking. The old version was basically perfect. I wish I could de-update this app. The main thing that bothers me is how slow it is when you search only the first three letters are recognized at first the rest have such a lag to load when you click on the subject you want THAT also doesn't get recognized until your done typing so I keep clicking in the wrong thing
If it ain't broke
The old Wikipedia was working just fine, this new version is slow, and glitchy. Please bring back our old one that we loved so much. Do you look at the reviews, if you did than follow up on what the users like, I am willing to pay if need be for you to bring what we request. Other wise why do you want the users to write reviews, and use as statics. Pls. Pls. Pls. Bring back the old version, why was it changed anyway?.
